"I endorse Reid Thompson. He is a very friendly and approachable person and is well thought of throughout the legal community. Reid understands the value of forming relationships and uses these relationships to properly and ethically achieve great results for his clients. I wouldn't hesitate to send a close friend or family member to Reid for representation."
"Reid is a well respected lawyer in the community. He knows the law and has a sharp mind. I endorse and recommend this lawyer."
"I have known Reid for many years. Reid is a former prosecutor whose knowledge and experience in the courtroom would make him a great attorney to have in your corner. Reid is an honest and hardworking attorney who will fight hard for his clients. I highly recommend him."
"Reid is an excellent defense attorney and well respected in the community. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have seen Reid's stellar ethics, honesty, values and belief in the justice system have been evident to me since we were on opposite sides of the courtroom in Douglas County (he as a DA and me acting as a defense attorney). Even then, in his role as an Assistant DA in a tough, he treated opposing counsel and defendants with courtesy every single day. More importantly, he kept fairness, justice and respect as the major focus in his cases. As a defense lawyer and advocate with so much experience in law and law enforcement, I know that he will go the extra mile to make sure that his clients get the best possible result and that they are well informed and are comfortable with the judicial process from beginning to end..."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Reid since he was a prosecutor. Now that he is on the criminal defense side, he does a great job using his knowledge of the prosecution to get the best results for his clients. I have worked with him on cases and he is very adept in the courtroom. A great trial lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Very knowledgable and experienced. If I needed a criminal defense lawyer, I'd hire Reid."
"This lawyer is very hardworking and knowledgeable of the law. He is willing to fully investigate your case and take it to trial if necessary."
"I've had the chance to observe Reid in numerous jury trials around the Fulton County Courthouse, and frequently pick his brain about my own cases. Reid is both a criminal defense attorney and a true trial attorney- a hard to find combination. I would take any problem of my own, or of my family's straight to Reid. He knows the law, knows the players in the courthouse, and gets results."
